摘要:

Coagulase‐negative staphylococci and coliform bacteria were isolated from defeathering machines and carcasses at a commercial poultry processing plant Initially, the predominant staphylococci on carcasses wereStaphylococcus xylosusandStaph simulansbut during defeathering, these organisms were replaced byStaph. sciuri.Since Staph sciuri predominated in the defeathering machines, the machinery appeared to be responsible for contaminating carcasses.Among the coliform bacteria,Escherichia coliwas the principal organism isolated from both carcasses and defeathering machines However use of a biotyping scheme revealed no clear change in the pattern of carcass contamination during defeathering and it was concluded thatE. coliis unlikely to colonize the machine
